We celebrate our eldest son’s birthday in July and we love celebrating with a big ole cookout! These beans are among Nate’s favorite side dishes and so on the table they go every year!
In a skillet cook the bacon until nice and crispy then set aside. In same pan, cook onion, green pepper and garlic until almost tender. Mix all ingredients in a 9 x 13-inch pan and bake in a 350-degree oven for one hour.
How easy was that?
